Cultural Explorations: American Southwest Cultural Travel Programs

A unique way to experience the ancestral landscapes of Native people.

IGNITE YOUR CURIOSITY

For 40 years, Crow Canyon Archaeological Center has been helping travelers explore the unique and diverse cultures of the American Southwest through eye-opening experiences among the region’s vast ancestral landscapes. Located just behind Mesa Verde, Crow Canyon is centrally located to an incredible array of ancestral places and cultural centers near the Four Corners area and beyond, from Chaco and Glen Canyons to Bears Ears and Dinosaur National Monuments, and many more.

Our small-group cultural travel programs are designed to provide the inquisitive traveler new perspectives and ways of understanding the American Southwest’s cultural past and present through a distinctive blend of cultural, traditional, and scientific knowledge.

Together we traverse these magnificent cultural landscapes alongside local Native American tribal members, specialists, advisors and subject-matter experts whose multicultural voices and stories help us think more deeply about ancestral places and their relationships to the landscape. Insights from Crow Canyon’s 40 years of archaeological research throughout the American Southwest add to thoughtful, dynamic discussions.
